We are committed to creating truly open source software that is usable and
scalable. Truly open source software is not feature or performance limited and
is not crippled. There will be no “Enterprise Edition”.

We are committed to an open design process. Every development
cycle the OpenStack community holds face-to-face events to gather
requirements and write specifications for the upcoming release. Those
events, which are open to anyone, include users, developers, and
upstream projects. We gather requirements, define priorities and flesh
out technical design to guide development for the next development cycle.

The community controls the design process. You can help make this software
meet your needs.

We maintain a publicly available source code repository through the entire
development process. We do public code reviews. We have public roadmaps. This
makes participation simpler, allows users to follow the development process and
participate in QA at an early stage.
